Question: A solid wood door 1 . 0 m wide and 2 . 0 m high is hinged at one side and has a total mass

A solid wood door 1.0m wide and 2.0m high is hinged at one side and has a total
mass of 40.0kg. Initially open and at rest, the door is struck at its center by a
handful of (sticky) mud with a mass of 0.5kg. traveling perpendicular to the door
at 12.0m/s just before impact.
a. What is the final angular speed of the door?
b. Does the mud make a significant contribution to the moment of inertia?
